This paper summarizes the motivating factors behind the creation of advanced practice initiatives for radiation therapy in Canada and the United Kingdom and for diagnostic radiology in the United States. Three major factors appear to have driven the development of advanced practice: a rapid increase in the use of services, shortages of both medical and technical staff and long patient waiting times. Advanced practice also has been tied to an increase in entry-level degree requirements. Consequently, there does not appear to be a compelling need for advanced practice radiation therapists in the United States.
